When In Texas

We are in Texas for the next two weeks and I miss my husband.  We took the scenic route to Texas, first stopping in beautiful New Mexico for a family funeral.  New Mexico was cool and dry.  Texas is sweltering but I like it.  It feels uncomplicated.  It is just plain hot - nothing more and nothing less.

JAC is loving Texas, rejecting all naps and instead dragging my mom's cat around by its back legs while it hangs limply in his arms.  About twelve times a day he stops and says, "Mom the air is hot!"  I just smile and reply, "Welcome to Texas."

We have been swimming, running and closely watching Prairie Dogs.  This is a bittersweet trip because we stand on the threshold of a entirely new life.  We will be an odd form of nomad moving every two years. It is hard to know what this really means so today I will enjoy the simplicity of the Texas heat.
